'''Modiúit''' ({{floruit|6th century}}) was an early successor of Saint [[Kerrill]], Bishop of the kingdom of [[Soghain]] in what is now [[County Galway]].

Modiúit established a church at what is now [[Killamude]], in the parish of [[Ballymacward]]. Killamude derives from ''Cill Modiúit'' ('the church of Modiúit'). Its foundations can still be seen in the townland of Killamude West. His feast day was celebrated on  February 12, and is listed as such in the [[Martyrology of Tallaght]] and the ''[[Félire Óengusso]]''. His diocese is thought to have been the extent of the [[Soghain]] kingdom.
